Planning for installation
Before you install your HP ProLiant Storage Server, you need to make a
few up-front decisions.
Determining a network access method
Before beginning setup and startup procedures, decide upon an access
method to connect to the storage server. The type of network access you
select is determined by whether or not the network has a Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server, as shown in Table 2.Figure 1 shows
the types of network access methods that are available and provides more
information about each one.
